The table above shows descriptive statistics for feelings towards Big Business from our data set. The range of values is complete at 100, showing a large variance in opinion throughout the data. The median value or middle value is a neutral feeling of fifty where as the mean value shows a slightly positive feeling from the participants in the survey at 55.27. With the mean being higher than the median I can assume with a fairly strong certainty that there tended to be more dramatic feelings of approval than that of disapproval. The standard deviation however, is fairly strong at a value of 22.58, which means that outlying values would only be found outside a range of 32.69-77.85.

The table above shows descriptive statistics for feelings towards Poor People from our data set. Just like before, the range of values is complete at 100, showing a large spread of feelings throughout the data. The median value is higher this time, and therefore more in favor of Poor People, with a value of 70. More so, the mean or average value has risen as well, up to 74.55. Again like before, the relation between the mean and median values show that it is likely that those who favored Poor People did so in a more dramatic fashion than those who disapproved. (Can you really say that those who favored poor people did so in a more dramatic fashion? What exactly does that mean, anyway?) Just to clarify, I am making an assumption. The range of normative values (those within the standard deviation) here would be from 54.81-94.29

There is a substantial difference in three characteristics of these violin plots. First, there is a difference of twenty (70-50) between the median values (white dots) of these plots. Secondly, the average feeling towards Poor People is about twenty points higher than that of Big Business, hence the bulge of Poor Peoples data being raised higher on the plot than that of Big Business. Finally, if you look at the violin plots at zero feeling values and 100 you can make an easy comparison. While Big Business has somewhat relevant feedback at both ends of the spectrum (0 and 100), Poor Peoples violin plot has a significantly greater amount of feedback for strong feeling while barely any for weak feeling.
With a correlation of 0.2205158 there is no strong relation between the rise and fall of the feelings data of Poor People and that of Big Business.

With Big business on the left and Poor People on the right in this back to back histogram, it's easy to see why there were so many substantial differences in the means and medians of these feeling thermometers. The Poor People feeling thermometer has a considerable amount of people who felt strongly about the topic and very few, if any, that felt otherwise. Meanwhile, just like the violin plots (histograms to visually look like dissected violin plots) Big Business in this back to back histogram has relatively minor feedback from the feeling thermometers on both ends of the spectrum while Poor People experiences one strong feeling feedback and little if any weak or negative feedback. (What do you mean by feedback? That's actually a pretty technical term--you should think about it, maybe read up on it... it's not clear you're using it precisely, I can't tell...)
*Thanks to Alexander Monsell for setting a great example especially with the back to back histogram* Nice!
(Good job, it seems that you're claims are a little bigger than the evidence you're working with right now. It's really great actually that your mind wants to make stronger and more interesting connections, but moving forward you should focus on saying only what the data permit you to say exactly and no more! In the long run those are the strongest claims...)
